Short scale bass soft case

[Burns-bass]

I’ve got a Chowny bass and need a soft case. What would you recommend?

Interesting.

Fender FBSS610 is a great light weight gig bag if you’re wearing it or basically putting it in the car. Really dense and fairly thick padding, but light and thin construction. 
 

For more protection I love the Gator Icon (guitar) case. I posted about it here somewhere. Fits my Mustang perfectly with plenty of space around the tuners, unlike some other guitar bags.

That’s what I needed. Many thanks!

No probs, here’s a pic of the Gator if it helps. I went to Gear4music and tried it in person, they were very helpful

Thanks for the reminder, I need to check that Gator one out! My Atelier Z Baby Z came with a similar gigbag as Fender Japan used to include with their guitars and basses, and it gets the job done but it's low quality and nearly all zippers have had their tab broken off. And my Sandberg Lionel came with a flimsy Sandberg longscale bass gigbag where the little fastening loop for the neck ends up somehere between the A and D tuners. So I could really use something better...

You absolute star, I've been looking for basically this exact type of case for ages now. Using a Mono M80 at the minute (which this appears to be based on) with two foam blocks in the base so the weight isn't all on the internal velcro strap but this looks like a perfect replacement. 

 

Is this the G-ICONELECTRIC model, then? And does it have straps on the back as well or just the carry handle?

That’s the one. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gator-ICON-Series-Bag-For-Electric-Guitars-Black/5DL2?utm_campaign=surfaces_across_google&srsltid=AfmBOopoEdajiUxZtPS1y_GB_-sgCdbtrd3QfFfoZhMl0F1FvP_T6zlFCQM
 

It has a useful assortment of handles, particularly the horizontal one above the accessory pocket) and decent straps. Pretty sure it has a rain cover too.
